FOREST GREEN: EFL clubs to make charitable donation to Grenfell Tower tragedy
In wake of the tragic Grenfell Tower fire earlier this month, the EFL and its member clubs have come together to make a collective donation of £175,000 to show support to all those affected.
The football community has shown unity towards the cause and earlier today the FA announced their plans to raise £1.25 million for the victims by using the proceeds from the 2017 FA Community Shield between Arsenal and Chelsea at Wembley Stadium on Sunday 6th August.
EFL clubs have been asked to contribute their share of the proceeds from the FA Community Shield alongside a significant donation from the EFL.
